Why are there so many Cold Stone stores closing. They all seem to be busy, and then they go out of business for no apparent reason. There were five in our area and the last one just closed. Is this the sign of a bad business model?

As good as the ice cream tastes it is just overpriced. That’s why I believe many are going out of business.

Tina I agree with u completely. WAY overpriced. Have only taken the family to the one nearest my home twice and was shaking my head on the way out the door both times. They make a good product but not that good! I will go get my free sample tomorrow though! Maybe it will make me feel better about splurging on my two previous visits!

I agree that their business model is definitely all wrong. If it costs approx $8 for basically a sunday, how often is the average person going to treat themselves.
They need to figure out a way to reduce those prices. Its good, but its just ice cream.

No, the ice cream is not over-priced. Take a look at the quality of their product and you’ll see why. The toppings are well known brands and they’re expensive. All ice cream and home-made and no water is added to it. You get what you pay for. The Yogurt business might be a cause to the closings, it’s very competitive.

If the ice cream costs too much, they may need to limit it to a few stores in areas of town where people go to splurge (Buckhead, Alpharetta, North Point). When Brusters first came on the scene, I only knew of one in Kennesaw. I used to drive there from SWAT (southwest Atlanta – near airport) once a month or every other month. Then one popped up in Marietta near Cumberland Mall; half the distance. Now there’s one down the street from my house. They rolled in slowly, got folks hooked, then open spots near their addicts…I think they used to ask for my zip code.
Does Stone Cold hand-mix the ice cream. Maybe they can use a machine and eliminate the extra employees (sorry, but it has to be done) to cut some overhead and feed the bottom line.
